What should be nerve racking is the title. No disrespect, but I cannot remember us really talking about the depression unless
it was in terms of some long ago history. My Grandparents lived it, my Father& Mother lived it, It seems to be more common place now. As if preparing us. Before it's always been we had to do this..or we ate this..etc etc. |

| Great vids thanks for sharing! The use of the stale bread as a food was really interesting, someone in the comments section pointed out if you use milk & sugar instead of oil & salt you'd end up with a bread pudding (dessert or breakfast). Some really good ideas there. |

Couple things strike me about this lady:
1) She's a sweet character - perhaps tough times breed a stronger soul, eh? 2) Some of the stories (sharing the books, sitting around the heat source)...hmmm...how many people could do that today with their temperaments? 3) She's pretty damn sharp and healthy for 93...i gotta go eat some lentil soup now |
